Polaroid has reinvented the old fashioned photography with new PoGo Mobile Printer. This device links to a picture-taking device via PictBridge or Bluetooth and comes up with a 2 x 3-inch printed hard copy of a shot image in about a minute or two. With the fully charged battery the PoGo can print up to 15 photos. The PoGo uses Zero Ink (ZINK) technology where the paper used has clear dye crystals embedded on it which, when activated by heat, create the images on the paper. The prints come out waterproof, and tear- and fade-resistant because of a polymer coating on the paper’s exterior. These exclusive papers come in 30-sheet packs that you can get for $10. The PoGo Mobile Printer is available right now and it is yours for just $150 bucks.
